Title: Improvements in or relating to the production of bales
IPC: B30B9/30
Filed: 1978-12-04
Abstract: In apparatus for measuring the rate of production of bales of, for example, paper, the bales are fed serially through a measuring station, at which a running total of one dimension of each of the bales is produced, to determine the quantity of baled material produced over a pre-determined period.

Patent GB-2011659-A (GB)
Title: Safety circuit for temperature- regulated electrical heating or warming devices
IPC: G05D23/24
Filed: 1978-12-15
Abstract: A safety circuit for a temperature- regulated heating device permits 'power heating' during heating up but thereafter automatically switches to 'low- power heating' to prevent over-heating in the event of defects. A generator (ZG) supplies triggering signals to the triac (Tr) but a control generator (SG) blocks the generator (ZG) in every second half-wave of the a.c. supply voltage to provide 'low-power heating'. In 'power heating', blocking of signal generator (ZG) is eliminated and a desired value voltage determined by temperature regulator (TR) is raised. A comparator (V3) responsive to the temperature desired value generator (SWG) and an actual temperature sensor (F) switches storage means (SP) between the two states. A capacitor (C7) is charged during 'low-power heating' only if current flows through the heater during those half-waves in which the triggering signal is blocked and simultaneously discharged more slowly than charging so that if due to a fault a predetermined charge is reached, the circuit breaker (S) is opened to disconnect the supply. <IMAGE>

Title: Refuse bag holder and operating pedal
IPC: B65F1/14
Filed: 1979-02-02
Abstract: A holder for refuse bags (30) comprises a bracket (20) attached to or integral with a bag supporting frame (28) having an edge (29) over which the edge of an open refuse bag may be secured, a clamping ring (31) shaped to fit over the said edge to secure the bag in position and pivoted to the bracket at a position (33) spaced above and rearwardly from the position (37) at which the bag supporting frame joins the bracket, and means (35) for securing the clamping ring to the bag supporting frame at a position on the opposite side of the clamping ring from the bracket.

Title: Improvements relating to coin- operated gaming or amusement machines
IPC: G07F17/34
Filed: 1979-04-05
Abstract: A "fruit" machine has drums or reels (1, 2, 3) which can be "nudged" i.e. indexed one or more symbol spaces, in the hope of bringing up a winning combination. The proposed feature allows reverse nudging as an alternative to forward nudging, i.e., where the drum moves in the same direction as it is spun. The feature may be available at various points in the game, not necessarily after the drums have spun, and may constitute a complete game. The reverse movement is obtainable by a reversible motor (8) or by means separate from the drum spinning motor, such as solenoids (17) or an extra motor (20) and suitable clutches (22). <IMAGE>

Patent GB-2027957-A (GB)
Title: Power supply circuits
IPC: G05F1/563
Filed: 1979-08-02
Abstract: A power supply circuit includes a high current chopper type regulator 10 and a low current linear regulator 11 feeding a common regulated supply rail (12). The linear regulator 10 regulates to a higher voltage than the chopper regulator, but has a characteristic such that its output voltage falls below that of the chopper regulator when current in excess of a predetermined level is drawn. Thus, at low current levels, the chopper regulator is inactive and the linear regulator supplies a ripple-free output. At high current levels, on the other hand, the chopper regulator becomes effective to provide a stable output voltage. <IMAGE>

Title: Method and apparatus for producing spun yarn characteristics in synthetic multi-filament yarns
IPC: D02J3/02
Filed: 1979-12-18
Abstract: A method and apparatus is provided for producing a synthetic multifilament yarn having appearance, bulk and hand characteristics of conventional spun yarns of staple fibers while retaining strength characteristics of continuous filament yarns. The multifilament yarn is air jet textured to form loops, bows, coils and the like in at least the surface filaments thereof and at least some of these loops, bows, coils and the like only in the surface filaments are parted while the interior or core filaments remain substantially intact to form a yarn having free filament or fiber ends projecting from a substantially continuous filament core. The interior or core filaments are shielded or protected from being parted by false twisting the yarn (without heat setting the twist therein) to provide a substantially closed form with the interior or core filaments surrounded by the surface filaments and by parting the surface filaments while the yarn has twist therein. Also, other steps are taken and means are provided for limiting the filament parting action solely to the surface filaments. Finally, the yarn is heat set after the filaments are parted and after the twist is removed to fix the characteristics imparted in the previous processing steps therein.
